| Santa Maria de Jesus sits on the side of Vulcan de Agua, rising above this central square |
 |
| Multi purpose checkered cloths serve as head coverings |
 |
| Dried Fish anyone? |
 |
| That's various herbs on the right |
 |
| The vegetables looked very fresh |
 |
| Children help out their mothers or |
 |
| Scott towers above everyone |
 |
| Another use of the cloths is carrying children or parcels |
 |
| Notice the ubiquitous flip flops |
 |
| This little girl is helping with the weighing |
 |
| While this one is fascinated by her diapers |
 |
| And this lovely little girl by my camera and myself |
 |
| Blouses on display |
 |
| I bought a blouse very similar to the one on the left |
 |
| These women are filling their clay water vessels to bring home |
 |
| A big celebration was planned that night |
 |
| Many of the men in the town were lined up outside |
 |
| The local laundromat |
 |
| Wood for the cooking fires |
 |
| Another view of the hard work of cleaning clothes |
 |
| Kids everywhere have fun |
 |
| A wide variety of skirt material |
 |
| That's a selection of belts on the rack |
 |
| Everyone needs toilet paper and paper goods |
 |
| This looks like a selection of modern clothes - one women appears to have already succumbed. |
 |
| These are 17th Century towers at the gate to the square |
 |
| Vibrant colors are everyone's favorite |
 |
| scarfs or cords are used to bind up your hair |
 |
| Tomatoes anyone? |
 |
| Sundays are the big market day but this was busy enough |
 |
| It seemed most of the town was there |
 |
| These women got a kick out of Scott and I |
 |
| As did this woman - we bought some of her fried potatoes |
 |
| Behind the scenes as they get ready to serve lunch |
 |
| Too bad we weren't provisioning for the boat |
 |
| I'm sorry I didn't buy any aprons to complete my costume |
